2. Hero: A♠J♠
$22.50 - $1.50 = $21
• G-bucks: You had 71% equity against his
assumed range.
0.71($25) + 0.29(-$15) = EV
$17.75 - $4.35 = $13.40

You both started with $15 and put $5 in preflop. The
pot is now $10. Villain goes all-in for $10, and you call.
Villain turns over K♦Q♠. The final board is
K♠6♠5♦Q♦3♥.
Answer:
• Real-bucks: You have $15 less than you did
before the hand started.
• Sklansky-bucks: You had 43% equity on the
flop.
0.43($20) + 0.57(-$10) = EV
$8.60 - $5.70 = $2.90
• G-bucks: You had 43% equity against his
assumed range, which is the same as the
Sklansky-bucks.
